? - where exactly is the I40 rest stop? Ashville
is an option, but will be back tracking for me.

[97whitevert]

the rest area is about mm 136 on I 40, between statesville and hickory

[sn8kbit]

We just got back from Charlotte this weekend, and to avoid the normal "wrecks in the rain on 40 after Asheville", Michelle and I took the Blue Ridge Pkwy and came up behind G'burg. We discussed the trip, and if she's able to go and we find a baby sitter, we're going to try to make it.

So...

Steve and Michelle Ragan (tenative)
99 Coupe
Meet at Asheville to join the run over the BRP.

I'll leave a # when I can confirm. Lisa has it.

Steve

[jkb]

Hi! It's Julia! Thomas is out of town and I don't know his user name and password to log on under his name. Therefore I created my own. Hope no one minds! ;) :D

Just wanted to let you know that we will be joining you for this event again this year. So, here's our info:

Thomas Bramblett and Julia Kobiska
1997 White Cobra
Coming from: Lexington, SC
Cell Phone: 803-463-0302/803-463-0303
Meeting either in Asheville or Gatlinburg (undecided right now.)

Gary and Shirley Piellusch (MY PARENTS!!! :D :D )
2000 GT Convertible
Coming from: Lake City, Michigan (competing for that long distance award! ;) )
Cell Phone: 231-878-0863/231-878-0866
Meeting either in Asheville or Gatlinburg (see above)

Can't wait to see you all there!!!!

Julia

[Mr. Ed]

Will we be treated to an encore performance? Last year's was certainly a "hoot"! :rotf: Great job, Thomas! We were all proud of ya up there on that stage, no doubt! :thumbsup:

[jkb]

I'll have to check with Thomas on the repeat performance. I am assuming that you mean a repeat performance of the redneck survivor and not a repeat performance of the clutch dump...right? :eek: If we lose another clutch this year, I'm never going on this trip again. I can guarantee that.

As for redneck survivor, Tony said that the show we are doing this year is not quite like last year so Thomas may not have a chance to perform for us. However, between he and my dad, I'm sure they will come up with something. They are both comedians and when you get them together...watch out!:D

Did I mention how much I am looking forward to this trip? Can't wait to see you all again.

Julia

[cobrabitn]

Julia,

The Fanny Adams show will have audience participation so go ahead and get the "funky chicken" primed up for the event! ;)

[jkb]

Yeah! Another chance for Thomas to perform. Do you think there is any chance that I can arrange it in advance so he gets chosen? **hopefully he is not reading this thread! LOL**

:rotf: :rotf: :rotf: :rotf:

[cobrabitn]

I have to call them. I'll ask and let you know either way! :)

[jkb]

Thanks Tony! I use any advantage I can to embarrass my dear hubby! ;)

I need to call and reserve our four tickets. Any chance you can shoot me an email with the telephone number in it again? We had to pack our desktop up and send it to Maine for repair/upgrade so I'm not sure where I saved that email.

Thanks! See you soon.

Julia

oh...send it to jkobiska@yahoo.com, please. Since our desktop is in Maine, I don't have access to my RR account. Thanks!

[Mr. Ed]

No Julia. I was referring to the stage show. Not the "downside" of the trip for you 2 last year. We won't go there. Good friends like you never need or deserve that kind of misfortune and aggravation.:eek: All will be fine this year. You can count on it! See ya there!:thumbsup: :D

[97whitevert]

Julia, we too would like a repeat of the funky chicken! not the clutch dump!! Can't wait to see you guys again! it is always a blast when this crowd gets together! WOOOOO HOOOOOOO:bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

[cobrabitn]

Julia,

The number is 1-877-388-5784 (toll free) Ask for Jennifer or Ruth Smith and tell them you are with the SCMC and that shoud take care of it. As of yesterday, only Ken Walder and I have bought tickets so don't wait too long or they will get gone and you won't get to sit with the group!

Tony

[jkb]

Four tickets purchased on the aisle. Jennifer said that someone sitting on the aisle is fair game for audience participation. Therefore, Thomas and my dad will be sitting closest to the aisle. :D She told me to "wink, wink, nudge, nudge" when we get there and that way they will know who they should be looking for to choose for participation.

Can't wait to see you all! (Yes, even you, Lisa! :rotf: ) You know I'm j/k, girl. I love ya' and look forward to chatting with you.

Julia

Hello all,

Wife and I met a few of you at Jacky Jones Ford in July when we were buying our 2001 cobra vert.

We were informed about the dragon run and I was wondering, do you have to be SCMC members to participate? I let my membership lapse a few years ago and have not renewed yet.


Lee

[flynfink]

Hey There,

no you don't have to, but it's a whole $15 to join...

Jeff

[cobrabitn]

Lee,

We have a show in Knoxville TN coming up on the 4th of October, come on up! ;) Did you get that 01 Cobra??

Tony

[Spiffy668]

[laserred]

Are you going? If you are you can go to the events section of the main home page and it gives you details. If you already know that, I have been receiving replies to this thread about twice a week yours is one of them. If you do go, have a safe trip:thumbsup:

Oh, YEAH!! Definitely going :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: and I do know about the events section. What about you? Are you going? By the way, I love your sig - really cool :cool: I didn't know "Slitherous" was a word!!!!! :eek: :rotf: :rotf: :rotf:

YEAH !!! I am definitely going. And it probably isn't a word, but it sounds good!:D

I thought it was pretty cool. You must be one of those clever dudes ;)

[laserred]

No, not so much clever. maybe more imaginative( that might be another word). I thought it sounded cool, a kind of roll off the tongue sort of word. " Sidewindingly Slitherous " just kinda rolls along, to me anyway! I just wanted to put something that was original, whether or not it was good. I am glad you gave a positive response to it. I was waiting for someone to say, what the @#*% does that mean. --- So, you ARE bringing that big boy pony to the run? I like the color you have in your pic, I have a buddy at the local ford place who gave me an EXCLUSIVE test drive. The charger sounds sooo good under the hood, and seeing the boost gauge was really cool too! I love the car, but not the cost. I wish they had come in 2000, I would have bought one then. I have bought my car twice, and the second time I could have bought one of them instead:mad: But anyway, I am looking forward to seeing what the next cobra will be like with new skin ford is coming out with, as well as all the cobras that will be at the dragon!!!:bounce: :bounce: See ya there!!!

Hey Amber, can't tell ya if they have booked rooms yet, but the cut off is coming up and I'm thinking the hotel will be booked by then..

Will there be shirts to purchase this year as well? :)

I don't mean to be a party pooper, but I think they stink (the hotel, that is). They wouldn't guarantee us a nonsmoking room. :mad: :mad: Anyway, that's why we'll be staying about a half mile down the road. I'm really looking forward to the weekend, but I'm gonna miss the fun of staying at the same hotel with you guys and all those COBRAS in one parking lot!! :(

They told us the same thing....and I agree, it stinks :bs:

....literally! ;)

Karen says we'll be looking for another place to stay if we dont get a non-smoking room! :blast: :getsome: :wildguy:

[cobrabitn]

Unfortunately if that is the hotel practice then there is nothing we can do about it. You won't have to worry about it next year because we won't be in Gatlinburg in 2004. On the high side though Ken... if they give you a smoking room and us a non-smoking room then you can have our room. I want to keep everyone together regardless of the accommodations. Having 30 plus Cobras in the parking garage (covered by the way and roped off for us specifically) will be worth the room switch. I firmly believe that even though they didn't "guarantee" a non smoking room, you will still get one. If not, see above statement.

Remember, the bigger the event and we have 34 people going now, the harder it will be to please everyone. We can't even please 8 people in Helen, GA. How are we to insure 100% satisfaction with 34 couples? Take the good out of it and try not to dwell on the negative and you will enjoy the weekend more, I promise! This is not to make anyone mad or offend anyone so please don't take it that way. Let's just go have a good time!

Thanks,

Tony

The problem is it will be too late. You don't find out until check in. I can't imagine being able to get a room somewhere else on such short notice during that time of year. If you're interested, I can give you the info on the hotel where we're staying. It's only a half mile down the road. We could have our own little Cobra party! :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :banana: :banana: :banana: :rotf: :rotf:

Tony, I'm not offended by anything you've said, but I was offended by the practice of a large hotel to NOT guarantee nonsmoking rooms. I'm like you, though, I'm not going to dwell on it. We just can't take a chance that's why we're staying down the road. This is unfortunate, but you can understand if the smell of cigarette smoke makes a person ill, then it's better to be safe than sorry.

BTW - where ARE we going to stay next year??? :doubt:

We're staying at the Fairfield Inn (couldn't get reservations any place else), but you won't like this - $154 a night :eek: BUT, we're guaranteed a non-smoking room ;) If anybody is interested, the number is 1-865-430-7200 or 1-865-925-9157.

[cobrabitn]

Cheryl,

You and Ken are right and I agree with you, it stinks. I just checked my confirmation letter and it says they do not "guarantee" a non-smoking room however it does say that they will do their best to accommodate. Jacque and I cannot understand what is so difficult about reserving a non-smoking room?

I was going to call and raise stink but then I saw it in writing. As I said, next year we will be some where else but before I leave this hotel on that weekend, I will tell them what I think from day one!:(

Tony

P.S. Jeff, Please add Mark and Sophia Young to the list. They will meet in Charlotte and drive a 1997 Rio Red Cobra Coupe.

[Mr. Ed]

Let me say from the outset that this is NOT and I REPEAT NOT directed toward ANYONE who had a part in selecting this hotel. Be realistic! YOU COULDN'T HAVE KNOWN AHEAD OF TIME, OK? For goodness sakes, I know this!;)

Since we are describing our room-guarantee issues, I'd like to pass along what happened to me when I called to reserve my room.:(

I was told that I COULD NOT reserve a room with the American Express Card. I could however, PAY for the room with that card upon departure. That makes no sense to me at all.:mad:

I reported this incident to AMEX and they promised to investigate it. To date, I don't know the outcome. I've had the AMEX Card for over 25 years and I know AMEX looks out for its cardholders and won't tolerate this nonsense.:bs:

My 2 cents.:thumbsup:

I was told that I COULD NOT reserve a room with the American Express Card. I could however, PAY for the room with that card upon departure. That makes no sense to me at all.:mad:

Sorry, guys. I didn't mean to start anything, honest. However, since I did, I guess it's a good thing for us to share info and realize that we're in this together. Tony, I don't know why we're not staying at this hotel next year, but I certainly hope you tell them it's because of blah...blah....blah! This club is certainly large enough to make its presence known, and some day they'll regret that they didn't go out of their way to make the wonderful people of the SCMC happy!!!! :flag:

[Flagman]

Amber & Jeff,

There's absolutely no need for anyone to beat themselves up over the choice of hotel. IIRC, wasn't it a consensus decision to try this place? Seems to me that there are a lot of advantages to staying here (i.e. the parking, nearby food and shopping, less traffic than Pigeon Forge) so let's concentrate on having fun!

[scocher]

Tony, you never did tell me where we're staying next year. BTW, I hope I didn't really hurt anybody's feelings. You guys are awesome, and we appreciate all the work you all do to make these events possible. I just wanted you all to know why we would be staying somewhere else. Big HUGS and KISSES to you all!!! :D :D :D ;) ;) :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

We just got back from there with a 3000gt owners group 3si and it was fun as hell. DEFINATELY worth the 5 hour drive from charlotte.

Here's a bad ass vid of one of some of the guys with us...a vr-4, acr viper and a 03 cobra running the dragon.

I was wondering how many of you are going to the Sweet Fanny Adams Theater on the 17???

[cobrabitn]

Jacque and I are going and I believe Thomas and Julia and their step parents are going. I'm not sure about the rest but when you call, you can ask how many of the reserved 30 spots are left......;)

Good idea :p

[ScaryGT]

My wife and I will be there. I also have an 03 Cobra pal that is driving down with his wife. We are staying in a cabin, but plan on hanging with you guys/gals for the cruise and TOD run.

Can you post the exact details... Times of the Blue Ridge cruise and the TOD time. If you list the details of where / what time everything is going to happen we will easily find all of you.

I just did the Dragon back in June and loved every curve "all 318 of them" :D I'm so excited about hitting it in the cool october air... it is going to be the ****!

See you all there, Ralph

PS: be sure to list the details or PM me with them (exact times / places; thanks).

PSS: what is the current attending stang count up to now????

[97whitevert]

ScaryGT--
Exact details are not finalized yet, and depends on where you are coming from.
but if it is workable, expect to meet at the rest area on I-40 west at about mm136 (between Statesville and Hickory) at approx 7:30. There will be other meet points for those coming from Raleigh and Charlotte to meet before the I40 meet point.

be sure to keep an eye here for the details!

Looks like we will have over 40 cars!!!:bounce: :bounce: :bounce:


And there WILL be a 'touring' group this year that will be stopping to take pictures for those that are interested in that.:thumbsup:

[ScaryGT]

Why are you meeting on I40? I'm going to already be in Gatlinburg on the evening of the 16th. I figured since I'll be there a day earlier that I would just meet with all of you at the Hotel.

Let me know if I'm thinking incorrectly.

Thanks, Ralph

PS: 40 Stangs going through the TOD... That is going to sound freaking awesome :bounce: :bounce:

[97whitevert]

We meet on I-40 Friday morning for those who are driving that day on the BRP. We have folks coming from Raleigh and Charlotte and that is a good place to group, pit stop. We leave from there, and hit the BRP as a group. We have also then met up in Asheville (mall area) with folks that find that area as a good meet up place. We do the 'eat here and get gas' thing there too, as it is around lunch time by then. We will then most likely continue on the BRP to Gatlinburg, arriving by dinner time. This is all tentative, but is what we have done the past couple of years.:thumbsup:

[cowboyharry]

From what I been told. Hell is not fun.:(

Ralph, We're going to be in Gatlinburg on Thursday, too. :bounce: Maybe we could get together and drive part way up (down?) the interstate and meet the rest of the group somewhere. OR There may be enough interesting stuff to do in Gatlinburg on Friday that we might forgo the excess driving, but it's a thought. We're coming all the way from Tuscaloosa, AL.

We could drive up to meet them on Friday. You can send me your cell phone number to my email address.

you will most likely find us if you travel 421- through GSM NP to the blue Ridge Parkway. Like I said before, keep a check for the final interary!

Cheryl-- will you email me your cell #??? If there are any last minute changes, I can call you so you guys will know if we end up having to change our route.

EVERYONE: If you have 2-way radios, bring them. also you can email me and Jeff cell phone numbers, so we can have lists made for everyone to have them if needed. And they seem to be needed at times. With 40+ cars, communication will be important ( like we NEVER talk anyway.....;) )

PS. MY FOBRA (Fake Cobra) Dont laugh......LOL
2003 Saleen front fascia, Cervinis Stalker Hood, 2000 Cobra R Wing, True dual flowmasters. It looks purty. Oh yeah, if anyone wants to play PS2 or watch a movie, I got a 7" LCD on the dash and a PS2 where the glove box used to be (Took the box out) It looks really mean and awesome when you see it, except for the rims (v-6) UGLY!!! Well, I look forward to it.

:thumbsup:

[tnturbo]

For those already in the Gatlinburg area....the last 2 years I have just met the group at whatever hotel they stayed at on Saturday morning. There are several of us from the Knoxville area doing that this year, meeting up and then making the short (but sometimes long time wise) drive to Gatlinburg. Anybody coming in from that direction that isn't staying with the group is welcome to join us.

the Charlotte group meets up in the northern end , off I-77 I believe usually. Stay tuned for further details. mm136 would be heading east for you if were to come up 321 to 40, so you may would rather meet with the charlotte crew.:thumbsup:

...And to think I was going to tackle the Dragon next weekend all by my lonesome...

[cobrabitn]

RCodeKelly,

We have several Mustangs coming to the Dragon Run. I believe right now we are up to about 45 cars total. We have a Bullitt, GT convertible, Mustang 6, and about 40 Cobras. All SCMC events are open to any Mustang or Ford owner. Come on down and run the dragon with us!:thumbsup:

P.S. If you want to come to TN next weekend then why not come to our Ted Russell SVT, Mustang, and Ford Show? We have dozens of raffle prizes and you get a "free lunch" just for entering! :bounce:

Tony

[RCodeKelly]

Sounds great, I might do that!

I can't wait til the Dragon Run... :flip: I'm assuming lunch-ish is the general time for meeting in Asheville on Friday? I'm sure if I'm anywhere in the vacinity, I won't be able to miss ya...

BTW... You guys drive some awesome machines!! Can't wait to be seen with you... ;)

Oh, and most everyone going probably already knows this, but rooms are few and far between in Gatlinburg. River Terrace is next door to Edgewater and had a few rooms left, but I didn't see much else.

[cobrabitn]

You are correct Sir! about the lunch meet in Asheville. Jeff will have all the details in the next week or so for everyone to read over. Hope to see you this weekend. We already have one Mach1 registered for the show. BTW, we are going out to eat on friday night if you come up a day early and want to go out and eat with us. ;)

Tony

[RCodeKelly]

Thanks for the invite! I have to say, though, I'm not a Sir... :jawdrop:
I'd let it slide but you'd probably notice when I got out of the car!

I guess it didn't occur to me that Kelly is one of those names that you just never know for sure...

I'm still not positive about this weekend, I'll post if I can make it so someone can let me know where to meet Friday night. :cool:

[cobrabitn]

Well actually..... if you watched Johnny Carson...it was just a saying that Ed McMahon said. "You are correct Sir" but I couldn't tell from your BB name if you were a male or female. Sorry if you got offended..... it wasn't meant that way. :(

[RCodeKelly]

No no no... not offended at all! :D I was laughing, actually... sorry I'm not up to speed on my Johnny Carson, I didn't catch the quote ;)

No worries!

(...except that my posts don't show my signature anymore, though everything seems to be set up correctly:( )

[cobrabitn]

The board is set up to have one signature per thread per day in order to save on bandwidth. "Do not adjust your set" there is nothing wrong with your set up.

Tony

[lorahcobra]

Jeff, we will see you at the Dragon Run. We will be coming in from Knoxville and meet everyone in Gatlinburg at the Edgewater on the 17th. We don't currently own a cell phone, but will probably be able to borrow one from one of our kids. :p Steve and Crystal Lorah...'03 Zinc Yellow drop top!!!:thumbsup:

[cobragb]

It looks like we have a problem with too many cars! ;)

I am looking forward to our fun weekend!!!!

BTW, Everyone needs to remember to bring their walkie-talkie's

[Hazman]

What type of walkie-talkies does everyone use? What Freqencies/channels, etc.

[tnturbo]

I think I emailed it to the list, but the name of the restaurant from last year is Cardin's BBQ and it is in Tellico Plains.

[Pig]

I'd love to join the fun. My better half even said she would come along to see what its all about. I've been absent for a while (moving, new job, blah blah), but I'm finding more time to catch up on leisure activities and this is on top of my list.

Name: Michael & Chrissie Pigford
Car: White 96 Cobra
Coming from: North Atlanta
Cell: 404-886-1967 or 678-522-7838

We'll probably head up there early Sat morning. Where/when could we meet up with everyone?

Looking forward to it,
Pig

[tnturbo]

For the folks staying at the Clarion (unless there is more than one), allow plenty of time to get to Gatlinburg from Sevierville. Hard to say what traffic will be like.

[flynfink]

OK, I have the following list of people coming from points east of the I40 rest stop at MM136 - Glenn B, (W-S), David Ridgeway (Randleman), Al Fair (Eden), Scott S. (Chapel Hill), Dave Stanfield (RAL), Burke D. (RAL). (Maybe Garland, GBO) Can you guys coordinate a meeting time and spot? (7 cars)

Dale Marlow, do you want to meet the guys in RAL area or come thru Charlotte? I may have a spare bed at my place in Charlotte for Thursday eve. (1 car)

I'm going to have to bail on DG this year. :( I'll be moving back to TX that weekend. So, my reservation at the Edgewater will be canceled. Just wanted to check to see if anyone needed a room so that possibly my reservation could be trasnfered to you (they seem "uppity" so who knows).

Lisa and Cobragb have one :D

I can't believe this event is getting so close!!!

Hey, Lisa, are we going to get a list of cell phone #'s?? I would like to get in touch with whoever is going to be in Gatlinburg on Friday. We're going up on Thursday. We're gonna have a nice long, FUN weekend! We're on Fall Break :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

[redsnake99]

Cell # for me is (919) 414-0252

[redsnake99]

For Raleigh area and those coming through, let's meet at the Waffle House parking lot at intersection of highway 55 and I-40 (exit 278) at 5:15AM on the 17th. We'll wait until 5:30, then leave. This should put us through Greensboro just over an hour later, to arrive at the I-40 rest stop at MM 136 by 7:30.

At exit 278, if traveling westbound, go straight across at the bottom of the exit ramp, turn left into Waffle House parking lot.
If traveling eastbound, at exit ramp stoplight, turn left, then right at next light.

Look for my 99 Red convertible with SCMC signs on the doors.

I'll be publishing cell #'s of those that provided them to me by Monday..

Not sure where to post.. I don't want my cell all over the web..

I suggest that they only be emailed to the participants. I am like you I don't want it all over the net.

How about those that are going to all meet in Galtlinburg email all yours to HAZMAN, and Rick will you make sure everyone that mails you theirs gets a copy of them all by email? Is that confusing enough?

Same thing with east folks- email Dave S?

I can do for us central area for those that need it.

I am trying to get Jeff off the hook here just a little. he has a list of cell #'s, but not all the email addy's I am sure.:thumbsup:

Looks like I'll be meeting up whith everyone in G'burg Friday night. Looking forward to meeting everyone and taking on the The Dragon!

[White Venom]

Well i won't be making it to the dragon run because i am having to rebuild my rear-end, spider gears, clutch packs and possibly axles. i had a little to much fun at the drag strip.:mad:

[97whitevert]

i hate to hear that rj..... hope you had fun though!:bounce:

[scocher]

Have I missed something or are we not doing shirts this year? Or do shirts come later. I want a dragon run shirt!! :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: They were so cool last year . :cool:

doesn't look too promising.....:( :( :(


they may have to come later

Let's DO IT! With 48+ cars, certainly we could sell some shirts :yup: :yup: I know I want one. ;)

[97whitevert]

saying lets do it has not been the problem.. its the getting them that is

[DaleM]

All,
I will buy multiple shirts and if I had my dithers it would support this club if they are available, 2-XL and 1-Med...hint hint.
The paint shop here had one request when I asked what they would charge to re-paint my snakes, "just get me a shirt and we are even". I'll be bringing 4 handheld radios folks so just bring AAA batteries (4 per) and come to the Black 03 with the Red Wheels, lenders while supplies last.

[scocher]

Are there any plans for Thursday or Friday night getting together to eat??? :rolleyes:

[TheFobra]

There are rooms still available, just not at the Edgewater. I just reserved mine next door at River Terrace--2 queens, a fireplace, and a view of the creek, $125.00 with AARP discount. You cant beat that. Also, the Graystone Lodge has rooms still. I thought I would pass this along to anyone that doesnt have a room yet. I was going to sleep in the car, but it's illegal or something like that. Im counting down the days until the Dragon :bounce: woo hoo:bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

[Rodcobra]

Hi guys do you mind if i tag along with the Lightning .I'm 90% sure i will be there .I may follow you guys to the dragon and then go back to town and do some shopping :thumbsup:

[Hazman]

Hey RodCobra
You are welcome. Don't stop at the Dragon come on along for the entire run!:bounce:

[Flagman]

Hey Rodney, by all means bring the L. I recall telling Margie at last year's run that I thought the Lightning would be a blast on the mountain.:D

[cobrabitn]

Rodney,

Running the dragon is the best part of the weekend next to socializing of course! :rotf: It wouold be fun to run the Lightning through 318 curves in 11 miles, trust me on that. We have a luncheon set up for Saturday afternoon right by the river. I'm sure your significant other would want to see the Fall color too.

Do the shopping on either Saturday night or Sunday. That's what we plan to do.

Scocher,

Dinner plans are as follows. Since we have so many people going and not everyone agrees on where to eat. It would be best to just find a fellow member that likes what you like and go with them. Many of us are arriving on Friday afternoon so I would venture to say that you may be on your own on Thursday night. Meet us at the hotel around 6:00 pm and we can decide then but remember, we have to be at the theater by 7:30 pm to get our seats. Lastly, I'd like to do a meeting at the hotel after the show is over to go over Saturday's schedule and meet other members, if Jeff is okay with that?

See you in a couple of days!:thumbsup:

Tony

[scocher]

Tony, Lisa and Jeff:

We will be leaving for Gatlinburg tomorrow a.m. If there are any important (or even unimportant) changes to the weekend plans, I won't have computer access to find out about them. PLEASE call my cell phone. I'll leave it on as much as possible. I made our reservation for the Fanny Adams show. I'm looking forward to a truly AWESOME weekend!!! How could it be anything else with this group?!!!!:bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

[scocher]

It's a real bummer about not having event shirts. I've been waiting a whole year to get a shirt with a dragon on it!! :mad:

I am REALLY sorry Jeff. I didn't know this was a sensitive issue. Tell me how I can help, I will be happy to do so, but don't get sarcastic, ok? No harm, no foul :rolleyes: Friends??? :D

[DaleM]

Ya'll,
Got the whole crew with me now, I knew the Jacuzzi and fireplace would be too much to miss!
We are looking forward to this, we'll be leaving the night of the 16th to stay in Statesville at MM 151, we'll meet everyone at the RESTSTOP, MM 136. Getting the car detailed and if room allows I'll bring the framed poster most of the SVT engineers signed and sent my wife while I was overseas earlier this year!
Any cigar smokers in the convoy? We can slither from the main group and savor a few great smokes!

[97Whitesnake]

Hey all! We are leaving in the morning as soon as Thomas gets out of class. My parents are already on their way there and we plan to meet them there about 3:30 or so tomorrow (Thursday) afternoon. So, we'll be waiting for you when you get there.

Looking forward to the fun.

Drive safely on the way!

Julia

[yl1]

It was really fun to Slay the Dragon, Thanks to everybody who did all the planning. I got home to Edwardsville Il today Sunday.What a great weekend. Coming home the Cobra got 26mpg on Cruise at 75mph. The quality of the cars there was very impressive, I loved seeing all the mods. You have a new member here will be sending in membership form this week. Again thanks so much Bob (98 Atl. Blue )

Car got towed back to hotel parking lot. On Sunday AM, Clarence and Terry put a new hose on it and added some antifreeze and a few qts. of oil and last I saw he was heading back to Boone.

[DaleM]

Thanks to the planners and the "Touring Group". I had a great time, makes me want to take a driving course now! Straight line dragging has been great but this event really showed me how much I don't know about driving the Cobra! Jeff, let me know if/when the shirts will be out and if you got the hand held radio back I'll get it from you next year.
How bout those autumn colors?

[TheFobra]

WOW!!!:eek: This weekend was one of the funnest I have ever been on. I had an awesome time, and ya'll are a great group of people.:thumbsup: I can't wait until next year. Anyone know when the pics are going to go up? I wanna print them out and make me a little scrap book. :D Kelly, we left after the run was over. We stopped at Ingles with everyone, and decided to head on home. Thanks everyone!!:bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

Glad you had fun, we enjoyed meeting you.

[redsnake99]

Many thanks to all who planned the event.....it was great fun. Extra thanks to those who assisted my son, Terry, with his car problems. We talked with him late Sunday night...he was in Boone, we were in Las Vegas. Terry has some fuel pump (he thinks) on his way back, but made it back to school in time to work on a history paper.

Again, thanks to "C", Tony, Jeff, and any others who took the time to help out. It was comforting to know that lots of very kind and helpful people were there to assist in his time of need. It would hav ebeen really tough for him if he was on his own with these car problems.

Anyone want to trade for a thirteen year old Fox body convertible with 200,000 miles on it? Would make a good base for a track car.

Tony, I'll send a check when I get home.
:)

[cowboyharry]

when is mustang week a MYRTL BEECH?

[Black Snake]

Dave, glad to hear Terry made it back okay. He followed us onto I-40 and then had to stop for gas. I hoped everything would be alright.

Although I was a bit disappointed to not run the event in my Cobra (yes, I really do own one) I still had a blast. I got to meet a lot of people, catch-up with old friends and make some new ones all in the same weekend.

I’m ready for next year. But first, I have some work to do. :(

[GeoSnake]

cowboyharry,
Mustang Week is the last full week in July. Check out www.mustangweek.com

[cowboyharry]

Ok, Thanks.:eek:

[BadPny]

Just a quick note to thank every one involved in the planning of the event and the tour leaders. We had a great time on the Dragon. Not alot of curves in the flatlands. We enjoyed Fanny Adams on Friday night! We enjoyed lunch on Saturday. Nothing beats a lunch you drive over 740 miles for! We enjoyed meeting all of you. We plan on coming down next year and prbably will stay an extra day or so.

I took quite a few pictures this weekend, though sticking your camera out the window at 70 mph around a mountain curve is not conducive to the best photography! :burnout:

However, a few turned out viewable. They're posted below if you'd like to see. The last link is a short .MOV file taken in one of the tunnels behind Whistler. Turn your speakers on! I am not a web designer and my friend has directory listings disabled, so please excuse having to click on each link separately to view.

Enjoy! :thumbsup:
